Dogs end Manly NRL season in golden point

Reynolds chased down a Sam Perrett grubber that went between the legs of Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic with just 79 seconds on the clock on Thursday night for the Bulldogs to consolidate their top-four spot in a patchy performance.

Reynolds was controversially earlier been denied what would have been the match-winning try by the bunker in the second minute of extra time.

Reynolds kicked 25m out from Manly's line and chased through and picked up a Daly Cherry-Evans fumble to crash over.

But video referee Bernard Sutton somehow ruled that Reynolds pushed Cherry-Evans in the back before he picked up the ball.

The loss ends any chance of Manly making the finals this year under first-season coach Trent Barrett.
